I'm confused. There are Ravnica (not Return to Ravnica) lands in this list. How is it standard then?

Because the shock lands originated in rabbi a and you are allowed to use the older versions of cards as long as they standard legal. So a ravnica or dissension shock land are legal because they were reprinted in return to ravnica and gate crash.
Maybe use {Godless Shrines} in place of {Mana Confluence}?
Top 4 split last night at a standard event. Really enjoy this list most satisfying was 2-0 a control math up granted he fumbled a land drop and monstrous fleece backed by a mutavault for flare took the games
Math up
I have updated the deck list after playtesting some more this week and most adjustments outside of a flex in sideboard this deck reflects roughly what I played tonight at a ~46 FNM tournament making top 8 as 5-1-1 entering.
Changes post FNM: I initially had the land base roughly 2 of each scry 3 of each scry lands. Perhaps I stink at shuffling but a lot of my openers were super questionable and forced some mulligans I'm against wobbly starts and praying on top decks ofc when you look at the top cards you woulda got there off that one lander etc. but when I keep I eat the bullet!
1) I would like more scry to help my openers contain at least one,perfect world ofc. With no turn one plays outside of a thoughtseize which unless I'm playing hexproof am totally okay with doing on turn 2. I believe green white is a decent cut of shock to scry an opener of no black but a caryatid or a courser is more pleasing when holding the mana to play it but a scry as well.
2) mono blue was the only person I lost two in game 4 and ofc in top 8. Upped some bile blights count into the sideboard and changed {doomblade} to {Ultimate price} making it also useful against {desecration demon} in MBD.
Outside of that I was pleased overall with the new changes since Wednesday night std with previous version.
Changes:
-3 {desecration demon}
When behind in this deck with a lack of numerous answers via removal like the MBD demon was a painful play normally looking at lethal in board and a DD in your hand pray on a top deck is horrid. When ahead though it's a house!
-2 {fleecemane lion} although it's neat against control if you too deck it in time or they fumble I ended up siding it out a lot MBD brings in {lifebane zombie} to combat your BBoV AA and now has an extra target. Falls to {tidebinder Mage}
-1 {thoughtseize} man do I hate drawing a thoughtseize turns 6-7 I can hardly get them in an opener or a timely fashion as a four of to the extent where I'm tempted to just add removal but occasionally you get them and it's an awesome feeling.
-1 {underworld connections}
If the deck fires off I often find myself with 1-2 on field and the extra in my hand by end of the game. Or even if I'm behind I have two underworld draws not help in some cases. Moved to sideboard
+1 {sin collector}
As a random 1 of cutting a thoughtseize gives the extra hand knowledge and either eats a removal as a response and takes nothing or gets a choice just valuable to an extent in some matchups if not it's sided but who doesn't like ripping off a one of!
+3 {voice of resurgence} a free blocker against aggro X2 makes MBD hate cards sorcery speed and control players love it too :) all around a decent card for all matchups.
+1 {ultimate price} sometimes a {stormbreath dragon} stone walls BBoV while a polukranos wacks at me. It hits DD and MoV and any major card I would normally care about felt like a nice add only one game against a loxodon I drew an UP instead of a DF and it sucked but then i took out a Underworld main for it so that would of still not helped when I think of it that way!
+1 {Vraska the unseen} I initially saw this as a bad downfall but playing with it I definitely enjoy drawing it and haven't been upset top decking it this far. It's a removal if you have a board can protect and if no pw hate answers becomes and additional {hero's downfall} in two turns.
I believe I've hit the main board changes in a lengthy rant. The SB has been adjusted but still testing it all so not going to go in detail as always meta games adjust the sb plans.
Apologize forgot I kept the same name as last standard// that being said this is for current khans rotation :/
